Church Fathers on John 5:30
will not you then judge according to the Father? He anticipates us by saying, I can of Mine own Self do nothing.
That is, nothing that is a departure from, or that is unlike to, what the Father wishes, shall you see done by Me, but as I hear, I judge. He is only showing that it was impossible He should ever wish any thing bat what the Father wished. I judge, His meaning is, as if it were My Father that judged.
